Just a few shots of the local Water Voles, lighting was poor so all shot at 1/160 cropped

I’m stunned by the sharpness at 1/160th. Fabulous!

I’ve never seen one, could you take a shot when it’s swimming past a coke can or supermarket trolley for perspective?

Im joking, fabulous shots Ron. I do wonder how the wildlife copes with the widely publicised pollution and sewage dumping.

You very obviously have an extremely well controlled 'mink' population, and some superb habitat for them.
Not seen one in ages down here, though my understanding they are trying to make a comeback.
Brilliant that you are able to get shots like these, it gives hope.

I'll certainly try ! this one was a little smaller than a coke can , this was at Codnor Derbyshire, they do try to look after the canal and reservoir there

They currently a little easier to spot now the reeds aren't over grown , Codnor is probably one of the best places I've been to for them
